Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton

From the early days of the war, Cincinnati printmakers Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. began to issue a series of portraits of Civil War figures: politicians as well as military and naval officers. Curiously, they used only a few stock backgrounds for these prints; the politicians, from Lincoln to Stanton to Governor Tod of Ohio, all appeared with exactly the same background. $325Go to page with other Civil War portraits by Ehrgottt, Forbriger & Co.
